I am continually disappointed by the choices of soft drinks offered by fast food places in the US and wonder if there are other countries that offer healthier alternatives.

I know Mexico has some interesting concoctions but not sure if they are healthier in the way of high-fructose corn syrup content.

i am from a caribbean country and i was quite surprise myself and choice of soft drinks offered at the restaurants. In D ominica we are offered tropical drinks like Passionfruit juice,citrus fruit juices, mango, maube, teas such as cinnamon, ginger, basilic, water and many others. There are drinks much like soft drinks offered in the US but made from 100% fruit juice.

"Soft drinks now stand accused of being largely responsible for an epidemic of obesity in America -- especially among children. Public health advocates, university scientists, legislators, and litigators claim because of an overwhelming and consistent array of scientific evidence linking obesity with soda consumption, the time has come for punitive action against beverage manufacturers and their nefarious products.... .... ..

The only place I've been to out of the country is Costa Rica. They had the same soft drink choices that they do here. Not sure about other countries.

They are made by the same companies Coca-Cola brags about being know world-wide. Rotting teeth is not something I want to be know for.
